Chapter 10 Are You Really Not a Human Anymore?

Yuanqiao Village, Forest Farm.

On a piece of grass, a black figure was lying on the ground in the shape of "big", unconscious.

The human figure's skin is covered with black lines, and dense and smooth scales grow on many parts of the skin, like snake scales.

The most peculiar thing is the figure's hands, which have now turned into a pair of sharp animal claws, or ghost claws are more appropriate.

The black nails are as sharp as daggers, and dense red meridians are wrapped around each finger. This is definitely not a human arm, nor is it a beast.

The meridians extend all the way to the figure's arms and shoulders, and they are still beating, like the pulse of a heart. There is still blood flowing in the blood-red meridians, which looks terrifying.

Suddenly, the figure moved his finger.

He is waking up!

Lei Yi woke up slowly from the coma, his vision blurred.

After a while, he regained his sight, struggled and twisted and stood up.

"Hey, where are the two strange beasts?"

He looked left and right, and when he realized that the two strange beasts that "clamped up and down" him had disappeared, he looked bewildered.

Could it be that they were all eaten by him?

He fell into deep thought and rubbed his cheeks with his hands, only to have a tingling pain come from the side of his face.

"Um?"

He looked at his arm and blinked to make sure he wasn't mistaken.

The results have been tested many times, and it seems that there is no change.

"Forehead……"

He tried more than ten times without giving up, and he found that no matter how he opened and closed his eyes, the scene in front of him did not change.

"ah--"

Finally, he finally accepted the reality that his arms had turned into pitch-black "claws", not human limbs at all.

Of course, if he could see his whole body, he wouldn't only care about the two arms.

Because now his whole body is covered with black stripes, just like the stripes on a tiger's body, and his appearance has become less human.

"No... No, even though I said I'm not going to be a human being anymore, how come I'm really not being a human being!"

He looked at the two arms connected to his shoulders, with blood-colored meridians protruding from them, and black scales growing out of them, he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Scratching the top of his head with his sharp nails, he began to think hard about what to do.

"Okay, I know I'm not human anymore, but what should I do next?"

Ask yourself, human beings have experienced even strange beasts.

For "alien" humans like him, shouldn't they be so repulsive?

Lei Yi thought about the good, but the image of himself being chased and killed by humans quickly flashed in his mind, just like the two strange beasts were chased and killed by the man in black before.

"Why--"

A long sigh revealed a lot of helplessness.

He was ready to accept the fact that he was no longer human, but just as he was thinking hard about his future plans, a white light lit up in the sky.

"Is it morning?" He looked at the gradually brightening light in the sky, and realized that he seemed to have been unconscious all night in the wild.

At the end of the eastern horizon, the sun slowly climbed up, and the faint sunlight began to shine on the earth.

Not to mention, being exposed to the sun is quite comfortable, but the skin is a little itchy.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

When the sun shone on Lei Yi's body, the "scales" all over his body seemed to be corroded, and a burning pain struck.

Under the pain, his face turned red, and his whole body lost his balance and fell due to a sudden change.

Then he was under the sun, and white smoke rose from his body again, accompanied by severe pain like a fire, and even a trace of burnt meat could be smelled in the air.

He is literally roasted!

"Wow——" shouts, and the burning sound of "呵呵呵" resounded through the forest farm.

The sunshine that was once so kind is now like the charcoal fire under the grill,

And he was the suckling pig being roasted.

Lei Yi was undergoing hellish torture, his face became extremely red from enduring the severe pain, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans dripped from his forehead.

Arching his back, turning over and over, sometimes jumping up, sometimes rolling all over the ground, but none of them can relieve the pain he is suffering at the moment.

Just when Lei Yi was in despair, his eyes swept across his arms.

As a result, he saw that on his arm, the area covered with scales began to melt, and the dark lines gradually faded.

"Sunshine...it's sunlight...can dispel...my abnormal changes..." he shouted indistinctly.

But this time it was not because of pain, but because of excitement.

Compared with the despair of not being human, enduring the pain of recovery is nothing, but he is not sure whether he will become a monster again.

But being able to restore his original appearance was the biggest surprise for him.

The painful and happy ten minutes passed quickly.

When Lei Yi stood up again, he had become a "human" again, and his arms and body had returned to their original appearance.

“It feels so good to be human again!”

He laughed at himself, his footsteps were still a little vain, and his body was weak from enduring the pain.

He walked a dozen steps away, and there was a strange beast lying there.

There were three alien beasts in total, two of which "disappeared mysteriously", and the one that was knocked unconscious by him first remained here.

And he could tell that neither of the two beasts survived.

Because if they were alive, it would be impossible for him to wake up. Instead, they would have already become the stomachs of strange beasts, and they might turn into a lump in a few days.

Lei Yi walked up to the cub that was stunned by him, and after confirming that the beast was still breathing, he lifted it up for a few seconds and put it on his back.

"It's quite heavy!"

Feeling the weight of the strange beast that was almost on his body, he set off in the direction of Yuanqiao Village.

"Hey, did I miss two people..."

When he walked halfway, Lei Yi remembered that there seemed to be someone who hadn't died in the battle last night, and one of them was the benefactor who hired him.

...

Yuanqiao Village, inside a private house.

Master Bai and A Biao woke up from their coma.

When they regained their sight, they saw a figure busy in front of them.

"Ergou, why is it you?" Master Bai asked when he saw the person in front of him.

Lei Yi: "..."

Although he slandered this "elegant name" endlessly, he still tried his best to pretend that nothing happened, and said calmly:

"Ahem, Master Bai, you are finally awake!"

After all, he brought over two bowls of water for Master Bai and A Biao to drink.

After the two drank the water, they felt better.

"Ahem, Ergou, where are 'them' people?"

Master Bai worked all night and lay down in the forest all night. His body was a little cold, but he still couldn't help asking about the situation.

"They?" Lei Yi was puzzled, and then seemed to think of something.

"They're all dead..."

"Dead!" When Master Bai heard this, he stood up immediately in fright.

"They are all dead, how is this possible?"

"Really, I won't lie to you! Their bodies are still in the woods, some from the townspeople, and some from 'those people', you just go and see..."

Master Bai's complexion immediately darkened, and the sadness on his face increased a little, which made people feel disturbed when they saw it.

"Hey, the mission failed, let the beast escape..."

"Master Bai, that strange beast didn't escape, it was just lying in the room next to us!"

Lei Yi interrupted immediately after hearing this, and pointed to the next room by the way.

"What!"

This time it was A Biao and Master Bai who jumped up together, and they looked at the next room with fear on their faces.

"Don't worry, that beast has already passed out!"

Lei Yi immediately explained, but he didn't reveal how the beast passed out.

"Then you..." Master Bai hesitated to speak.

"Last night was too chaotic. I didn't know why I passed out afterwards. It was already early in the morning after I woke up. I saw the strange beast unconscious near the forest farm, so I brought it back!"

Lei Yi told the truth, while gesticulating blindly.

But his truth is not all the story, but told some of the facts, but concealed the cause and effect.

Master Bai raised his head and glanced at Lei Yi in surprise, then exchanged glances with A Biao who was beside him, and then nodded.

The two carefully groped towards the next door, after all, that was the most important task of their trip.

After more than ten minutes, the two of them came out with peace of mind.

Because in the next house, the cub was tied up with metal ropes and was still in a coma. It would definitely not wake up in a short time.

But the two were a little curious, because in their memory, the tiger beast seemed to be bigger than the one next door.

But the sky was too dark at that time, and the scene was out of control for a while, maybe the two of them remembered it wrong.

"Well, very good, Ergou, you have done a good job. I will pay you when I go back this time."

Seeing that the most important "goods" were still there, Master Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, you'd better keep quiet about these two days. If others find out, it won't do you any good!"

As for the deaths and injuries of the townspeople in Ping'an Town, and the matter of the mysterious man, he would naturally contact "those people" to deal with it after he returned.

Reminding Lei Yi is just an exhortation to prevent others from knowing.

But he didn't think that Lei Yi, an ordinary senior high school student, might provoke anyone, and he didn't take it to heart.

Ten minutes later, Lei Yi and A Biao got into a car carrying the tied up beast.

When the car carried Lei Yi and Master Bai and was about to return to Ping'an Town, apart from A Biao who was driving, Master Bai and Master Bai were both thoughtful.

After working for a day and a half, when Lei Yi walked out of Master Bai's residence, he had already received the wages this time, 11,000 credit points.

"This is a huge sum of money!"

Lei Yi looked at the two crystal-clear pieces of paper, one big and one small, in his hands, his face full of disbelief.

Now is not the original 21st century. After experiencing the disaster of alien beasts, the whole world has unified the currency and unified the use of credit points for transactions.

At the beginning, each region had different currencies, exchange rates, etc., but now it is the same all over the world.

These are also recorded in the history textbooks. Lei Yi has copied the textbooks so many times, and he has long been familiar with them.

"Hey, with a huge sum of money, let's go to Widow Chen's house to eat barbecued pork rice. I want to eat eight bowls this time!"

Lei Yi excitedly walked towards the center of the town, thinking that he had made money, his footsteps were a little floating.

After all, there is nothing that makes him happier than earning a huge sum of money and eating extravagantly.

Master Bai's mansion.

"This Lei Yi, did Xiao Cong mention it to me?"

Master Bai rubbed his forehead, and gave A Biao a look or two at the side.

"Master, the young master did tell you that this kid beat him a few days ago. But it was all a small fight in the school, and the young master was not injured, so it's not worth your worry, right?"

A Biao thought about it, but he also remembered what happened a few days ago, but he thought it was a trivial matter.

"It's true, this kid is the same age as Xiao Cong, and he's from the same school, so there shouldn't be any problem!"

Master Bai thought for a while, then waved at A Biao to let him back down.

"Unless he is not human at all, how can he have such strength at such a young age..."

Master Bai looked at the direction Lei Yi was leaving, thoughtful, and the last sentence seemed to be saying something to himself.

Thinking of this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up a black old-fashioned dial phone on the table, and began to dial a number.

The thing that is giving him a headache now is this operation, especially since many people have died in Ping'an Town, he needs those people to deal with it.

And the identities of those people are not visible, so they have to be dealt with before the people above know.

As for Lei Yi, he is just a small character, even if he comes back, he won't attract attention.
